Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Experience Opens To PS Plus Members This Week

Share this post

I’m really happy to announce that PlayStation Plus subscribers in Europe, South Africa, The Middle East, Australia and New Zealand will get a chance to play Uncharted 3‘s competitive multiplayer experience before the full game releases on November 2.

PlayStation Plus subscription is the only way to guarantee access. However, If you’re not a subscriber to PlayStation Plus, there may be other ways to gain access throughout the month of October, keep an eye on your local PlayStation.Blog page or community forums for more details.

This is a great way to get a head start on leveling up your Uncharted 3 multiplayer profile – Naughty Dog have made sure that key aspects of your progress during the competitive multiplayer experience, will carry over into the final retail copy of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. We’ll have more details on how that works very, very soon.

Naughty Dog have been working really hard to blow you away with the Uncharted 3 multiplayer experience – they can’t wait to flip the switch for PlayStation Plus users in Europe, South Africa, The Middle East, Australia and New Zealand on October 5.

I have two questions. 1) Is this October 5th Australia/ NZ time or is it actually on Thursday when the PS Store updates? 2) Will there be the Subway treasure/ clothes and Naughty Dog guns from the American MP experience? :) Looking forward to this

yeah great etc.. who cares about uncharteds multiplayer,….is that all’s that game devs think these days,?. take a good, even brilliant game and add multiplayer cos multiplayer is allways as good as the game it’s on,…like i actually want to spend my time in a game with a load of 10 year olds, ..i HATE mp…. just give us the game/story mode allready,…does ANYONE like playing story games anymore,?..or have those days been and gone,?…at least i hope you’s do the trophys like U2 ,..just play 1 co-op and 1 competitive game etc then earn the rest in story,…yeah good luck to the people who have opposite views than me i’m happy for you’s..but it’s just not for me…… least ways not the way it is at the moment .. but maybe the day will come when i actually find a decent one,..

@chrisandshevaWow dude…How can You whine so much over a game that have the greatest singleplayer on PS3?ND added multiplayer so people could enjoy the game for years… Because no matter what, the singleplayer can’t be played for that long, no singleplayer is that good.And yes, there are some games where it is just added so they can put it on the box.. But Uncharted has one of the greatest multiplayer on the PS3..So I don’t think Your whining is appropriate here.. Find another place for that.And last. They have a release date for Uncharted 3, it is nov. 1.. ND is just showing there fans they love them be releasing the full multiplayer 1 month before. Name a dev. that have done just that!

This is the kind of thing we’ve all been waiting for getting uncharted 3 access early is worth the years sub on it’s own in my eyes. Plus is really starting to make sense any serious ps3 owner should join up and the psn as a whole has become a vastly superior service to what i knew a few short years ago’ keep up the good work Sony\SCEE.

Serioulsy considering getting PS+ now. Been toying with the idea for months.Although, £40 for UC3 MP a month early? Not sure…Perhaps I’ll just wait and finish the enormous backlog of games lying around…

@umbrellabio I saw that and was excited for like 10 seconds before realising: UC3 MP is 10x better than UC2. I highly doubt many people will continue on UC2 MP in a few months (I mean seroiusly, EVERYONE is going to get UC3…).

Anyway, on subject; I will wait for more information on the other ways to get into this as I still have little to no reason to justify the £40 subscription charge for this.

The issue I have with things being exclusive to Plus is that the service doesn’t cater to people like myself who have previously purchased a majority of the content on offer.

Calculating the discounts on things I have purchased in the past year I still wouldn’t have saved more than I spent if I had purchased a sub so there’s no incentives to do so. Until then I’ll wait it out unfortunately.

HEY KILLER CAT i can and will express my opinion where i like where do i say uncharted isn’t brilliant?..also i told all with opposite views to mine that i was Happy for them…but it isn’t for me…..but if you have to make a single game last you for years i suppose i shouldn’t be responding to ye…..ps WIND YE NECK IN.

With all due respect Sony and Naughty Dog, please look after your customers equally. You know North America accounts for just over half of Uncharted 2 sales and less than half of Uncharted sales so in summary, it’s 50/50 sales wise. While our friends in America are now enjoying the multiplayer, we sit and wait for 5 more days? Surely a simultaneous release would have been more wise. For you Sony, take a look at your market share in this region compared to Xbox and then look at the states. An argument can be made to support your more loyal base here. Please send out the codes now so we can all enjoy this great game.

@KILLER CAT ..if nd is showing the fans how much there loved what about the ones that don’t have plus,?.. this,unlike the US offer is just a ploy cooked up between nd (shame on em) and sony to get more people to sign up for plus,……so after you’ve had your bonus month to level up will you be looking to jump ibto games full of level 1’s to show them how good you are,?…totally stinks that any dev would release a game with multi as big as U3 will be and not allow everone a fair and equal chance,….and you wonder Why i Hate mp…..well that and the sometimes ridiculous trophy requirements to earn the plat,…ye your right ‘some’ games do last for years..
